Having watched the game, it’s clear there is a different standard being called for the Lakers versus other teams. Davis could basically maul Jokic and it wasn’t a foul, but if you kind of look like you might try to defend a shot by the Lakers, it’s a foul. I especially liked how Davis swiped across Jokic’s arms late in the game, while shoving his knees into him and making him fall, and it was a foul on Jokic.
It’s hard to watch. How many people tune in to watch an NBA game for the first time, only to have it also be their last.
And the NBA leadership doesn’t care, or they’re at least complicit.
I love how the nuggets have found a way to win regardless of the corruption.
The refs and/or executives have to be foaming at the mouth that they can’t stop a small market team from having their way. Love it!

Huh. Maybe that’s what “moral victory” means.
Had to win by 15 to win by 8
Come on yall, it’s just the style of play. Some coaches game plan has more jump shots and Ham clearly favors a more gritty, let Jeanie pay off the refs approach
Its absurd
